Although he has fought many defeats, Yuan Shao is not stupid at all.

He refused to abandon his troops and flee alone, not because he was reluctant to give up the few hundred cavalry left, but because he was worried that he would have no guards and encounter some accidents casually, so he would give him the result.

However, Zhao Yun's pursuit still made him vigilant, in order to ensure safety, he stopped on the road for a while, took off the purple robe and jade belt on his body, found a substitute to change into, and he and several henchmen changed into the clothes of a small soldier, and then returned to the road".

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Yuan Shao's arrangement really worked.

No one knows what kind of mood Yuan Shao was in the moment when the Youzhou Iron Horse appeared in front of him, there must have been horror, but fortunately it may also exist.

Seven hundred remnants of soldiers in front of thousands of iron cavalry, they couldn't even raise their fighting spirit, let alone resist, or how long they held out, and they collapsed in an instant. What really caused trouble to Gongsun Chan was just how to eliminate the interference of the rout and catch the enemy.

This little trouble, of course, will not become a real trouble, Youzhou Iron Cavalry is rushing to participate in a great war, and in the end it can only chase and kill a group of defeated soldiers, holding back the fire from top to bottom, and acting naturally is also vigorous.

It didn't take long for Yuan Shao's stand-in to be caught, and Gongsun Zhan rushed over with interest, and looked, He, it's a fake! At the beginning, he was furious and ordered his cavalry to launch a sweeping sweep, and a small soldier could not be spared.

Yuan Shao was cunning, he didn't expect to escape from the pursuit of Youzhou Iron Cavalry, but ran to the nearest county.

Of course, the process is thrilling, first Guo Tu fell off the horse, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead; Then there is the sacrifice of the Lord. was caught by the Youzhou cavalry with a lasso; In the end, after Xin Ping fell because his mount was shot and wounded, he was captured alive by the Youzhou cavalry. So much so that when Yuan Shao entered the city, there was only one Xin Bi left by his side.

Juan County. It was once used as a transit place for Yuan Shao's grain, and it has always been defended by a force of several hundred people. The city's fortifications were once made up of jaws and were quite strong.

In view of this, after Wang Yu won the night attack, he did not plan to waste his military strength to take the city in vain. Anyway, it was just a transit place, and there was not much food in the city, and when the victory and defeat were decided on the frontal battlefield, the defenders in the city either broke and fled, or fell in despair. When the time comes, it would be good to send someone directly to receive it, so why bother to attack the city?

As a result, no one expected that this would become Yuan Shao's last refuge.

Xin Bi once served as Zhang Jaw's deputy general, guarding the city in Juxian County, and knew a lot about the defense of the city. In order not to shake the morale of the army, he did not inform the defenders in the city of the battle situation ahead, nor did he announce Yuan Shao's identity, only saying that he was attacked on the road. Then he commanded the defenders to defend the city.

The forces in the city are quite limited, most of them are old and weak, and they are far from having much combat strength. But Gongsun Chan led all the cavalry, and it caught up with the heavy snowfall. As long as the head of the city is defended, he will not be able to take the city.

was put on the spot again by the enemy, and Gongsun Chan was also furious. Although he still had his senses, he did not force the cavalry to attack the city. But he still doesn't intend to stop there. When Zhao Yun rushed to Juan County, he was furious when he met Gongsun Zhan. Let people go to Tian Kai, and wait for the foot soldiers to come and attack the city.

"It's ......"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and their faces were full of expressions that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

This matter is so speechless, who would have thought that Yuan Shao would be so tenacious? It's like a cockroach that can't shoot to death, so that he can escape...... Well, it's not appropriate to say that he escaped, the small town of Juan County, and in this situation, it can go down every day, and Yuan Shao will only survive for a few more hours at most.

But Gongsun Zhan's annoyance can also be imagined, isn't the cause of this Hebei war precisely because Yuan Shao tried to plot Jizhou and take Gongsun Zhan to the top cylinder? At the end of the day, Yuan Shao came again, which must have evoked quite unpleasant memories of General Baima, so he jumped to attack the city.

However, this is a good opportunity for Qingzhou! Led by Jia Xu, the eyes of many staff members lit up.

"It's not a coincidence, the French brother led the army to pursue Gao Gan, Jiao Touch and others, I am afraid that he is already more than ten miles away at this moment, I want to find him back, and then rush thirty miles to attack the city, I'm afraid it is a little difficult." Wang Yu spread his hands to the herald who was following Zhao Yun, saying that he couldn't help.

"This ......" The herald looked at the sky, and cold sweat came down his head.

I had the heart to ask Wang Yu to transfer troops to help attack the city, but looking at the appearance of almost every soldier in Qingzhou stained their robes with blood, where could he open his mouth? What's more, this battle has been fought for a long time, and the days are short in winter, and the sun is setting when I see it, so how can people open their mouths about attacking the city overnight?

The lord of his family is angry at the moment, but he has the intention of attacking the city overnight, but in terms of etiquette, he is somewhat unsophisticated. He is just a personal soldier, and it is no problem to directly ask Tian Kai to pass on an order, but how can he be qualified to talk to Wang Junhou face-to-face? The other party is a famous general who wiped out 20,000 Hu cavalry in one battle!

General Shan didn't remind them, and it was not difficult to guess in their minds, they just didn't want the two armies to become one and lose their status. But I am unlucky, if this is a mistake of half a step, which will adversely affect the relationship between the two armies, it will really be a hundred deaths.

Jia Xu coughed lightly twice, and proposed in a timely manner: "Ahem, Lord Qiqi, since General Gongsun wants to eliminate all evil, from the perspective of his subordinates, it is better for our army to be an adult and help General Gongsun, right?" ”

Gongsun Zhan's temper is extremely straightforward, it is useless to coerce this kind of person with strength, and continuous grace is the king. As long as he takes your advantage, he will be embarrassed and always think about the return, and the return is often much more generous than the payment.

Now let the Youzhou army change banners, the other party is still a little unwilling, but as long as the relationship between the two sides is maintained, Qingzhou will continue to show favor to others, and in the end, Gongsun Chan really can't give anything in return, so he must only be able to promise himself...... Well, the word isn't quite right, but the meaning is right.

Now is a good opportunity, according to Jia Xu's idea, his own family can specially pick some wounded soldiers, and then let Xu Huang work hard and lead the team to go. Anyway, it won't be a trouble to attack the city, but it will definitely move Gongsun Chan a lot, and when the other party calms down, he will think of the previous faux pas and tardiness. This guilt must be bursting.

The herald was even more moved, and his eyes were shining when he looked at Jia Xu.

"Wen He's very true." As expected, Wang Yu nodded. The next moment, he changed his words and said: "But there is no need to send troops, although some siege equipment was captured before, but it is such a long way, and it is late, so there is no need to spend this week." ”

"But, the lord ......" Jia Xu was anxious, and glanced at Wang Yu again and again, but the herald did not show much disappointment. Favors are always repaid. The enmity between Yuan Shao and Youzhou is not bad for this night.

Just when he was about to say goodbye and go to find Tian Kai, he suddenly heard Wang Yu say again: "To solve Yuan Shao, it is actually very simple, you don't need soldiers and horses, as long as Zhengping walks once, it will be solved." ”

“…… What the prince said, but Mr. Youheng? The herald hesitated for a moment, and the look on his face turned to surprise.

"Exactly." Wang Yu replied with a smile, and then nodded at You Heng: "Zhengping." It's going to be hard for you to go this time. ”

You Heng arched his hand and said confidently: "The Lord is serious, and the good things that express his heart, where can he talk about hard work?" The lord can rest assured. If you go and go, you will return, or you will send Yuan Shao on the road in a few moments. "Say it. So he turned on his horse and went west.

The herald was like a treasure. He thanked Wang Yu with his hand, and then quickly chased after him.

"My lord. Isn't it an established policy to show grace to Youzhou? Jia Xu watched the group go away, and then said quietly: "Yuan Shao has not suffered many setbacks in his life, and his sense of superiority is very sufficient. However, in this way, General Gongsun's evil anger is very happy, but I am afraid that my kindness in Qingzhou will not be implemented. ”

"This time and that time."

Wang Yu took off the iron helmet from his head, shook his head, and said meaningfully: "At the beginning, it was expected that if this battle was won, Zhang Yan would surrender, so that the east and west of Jizhou would be connected, and the general trend would be decided, so that he could concentrate on appeasing Youzhou." But if Zhang Yan has other ideas, Hebei is a tripartite side-by-side...... Well, it seems that there are more than three parties, and there is no need to be so eager to appease Youzhou. ”

"More than three parties?" Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he remembered a force that was almost ignored, and muttered: "Are you worried about ......?"

"Liu Yu and Brother Bo Qi have been fighting for a long time, presumably there must be some strength and means, Qingzhou, Youzhou and all the way, if Zhang Yan has the heart to stand on his own, it is difficult to ensure that both sides do not feel in danger, and join forces to protect themselves, in this way, Hebei has become a two-strong rivalry, and I am afraid that it will not stop next year, which is the biggest trouble."

Wang Yu's deep eyes kept looking at the Huangse banner on the riverside, and Zhang Yan's choice surprised him.

As far as he knew, the other party was not an ambitious person, except for being against Yuan Shao, the relationship with other princes was not bad, and after Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he did not go against the trend, and chose to surrender to Cao Cao as the final way out of the Black Mountain Army.

At present, his own power is indeed not as good as Cao Cao after the pacification of Hebei in history, but relatively speaking, the position of Hebei's hegemon should be difficult to shake. Besides, his attitude towards the Yellow Turban and civilians should be stronger than Cao Cao's, right?

What went wrong? Wang Yu was very puzzled.

These questions can be left behind and thought about slowly, but one thing is certain, that is, Qingzhou's goal next year, or even in the next two or three years, is not to fight a war, but to recuperate. Until the results of this battle are fully digested, some battles cannot be avoided, but it is not suitable for large-scale war.

All actions should be guided by this.

If Zhang Yan really has any ideas, in order to avoid a large-scale war, he should make the forces of all parties in Hebei relatively balanced, rather than one side dominating.

In addition, the sudden escape of Jiao Touch and the others is also very strange, it stands to reason that these people don't need to run, unless......

The arrival of the messenger of "reporting ......" interrupted Wang Yu's thinking at the same time, and also revealed some mysteries: "General Tian reported that the pursuit battle had ended, and after Gao Gan, Jiao Touch and others lost more than half of their troops, they were received by others, and General Tian captured Jiang Qi, asked some of the reasons, and did not dare to advance lightly, so he sent an envoy to ask the lord for advice!" ”

"Report ......" didn't wait for Wang Yu to ask in detail, and came quickly on a fast horse: "Pei, General Tuesday asks to see the lord." (To be continued......
